Rockstar:Supernova: Season Finale, Night 1
Brooke actually looks cute tonight, minus the funny wristband. So apparently America decided that they wanted to hear Ryan's single again. He shows a lottle more gratitude to Supernova for the chance to play "Back of Your Car" in front of so many people. He is enunciating better this performance. This time did not seem to live up to the last time.
Then they recap the season, focusing on the final four. Then we find out that tomorrow they will eliminate one of the bottom two and then the other three battle it out. Not sure what that means or why we need to do that when their decision is already made, but I am not the producer.
Toby: "Karma Police", Radiohead
He sounds funny, like he is trying to draw it out too much. He is getting marginally better with the chorus. However, he does not really hit it until the end.
Grade: B-
"Throw It Away", Toby Rand
So he says that Magni is going to come play with him. The crowd singing was marginal. Did they plan this "I hold your guitar" routine. He seemed to lack energy tonight.
Grade: A-
Comments:
Dave says that that is his favorite Radiohead song and he liked the performance. He says that he delivered it with power. Killer set. Right now, I feel like I am watching a great rock show. Tommy says nice job. Gilby says, you were lost in the melody of the Radiohead song. You are great in the upper register. Jason says more energy in three minutes than we have had all summer. Was Jason absent the night that Toby originally performed that? It did not compare to his original performance. His set that night was killer. Tonight paled in comparison.
Lukas: "Fix You", ColdPlay
Chris claims that I know this song, but I don't think that I do. I am not a ColdPlay fan. Dave is holding up his pink Razor. Paula Abdul is in the audience and cheering for Lukas. I like this song.
Grade: A
"Headspin", Lukas Rossi
So he strips it down this week. We can understand the lyrics this way. Jason is amazed at the silence. This song has a lot of feeling done this way.
Grade: A
Comments:
Dave says that when Paula Abdul wants to hear great singing, she comes to Rockstar: Supernova. Umm, Fox is not so happy right now. There goes her contract. Lukas, I am so proud to be here to see these performances. He has questioned all season if he could listen to Lukas for a 2-hour show and after seeing all the facets, I would buy a ticket. Tommy says, wow, cool. Gilby says, that was great, so good. Great that you are fearless and willing to take a chance. Awesome.
Dilana: "Roxanne", The Police
She has all the boys backing her up. Very cool version. She can sing. She can rearrange a song. She cannot write and she should not open her mouth outside of her performances.
Grade: A+
"Supersoul", Dilana
She prefaces that this song is not about being angry. It is about letting go and freedom. She works her way through the crowd and sings to the band. She caresses Dave and then goes over to Paula Abdul. She goes all over the arena. Her lyrics are still so literal.
Grade: B+
Comments:
Dave says you know how much I love you and multiply that by 1000. You are back, on top. Smart to get your competitors to sing backup. Tommy says loved it. You are beautiful to watch perform. Jason says, I would get matching outfits for the boys and Lukas, work on the choreography. Gilby says, I love watching you every week. Can't wait to see how it goes down tomorrow night.
Magni:"Hush", Deep Purple
Magni makes a good lead for a cover band. He just does not add much originality to a song. But he does great covers. He can sing and actually play guitar. He is a great backup guy. He performs great. Playing each other's guitars is dirty. You can't show that on TV.
Grade: B
"When the Time Comes", Magni
He forgets the song name. OK? Is his wife cool with other women rubbing his head? I have heard that is very intimate contact. This song is good, but nothing special. Tommy looks bored.
Grade: B
Comments:
Dave says, there is a girl that is hot for you in the crowd. Magni tries to play it off. Dave says your cover was cool. Thanks for a great show and great set. All of you are awesome. Tommy says I don't remember your original. Jason says, I dig the original. Magni says I like it and that's what matters. Gilby says, great job, good performance.
So it is obvious that they plan to eliminate Magni. Everyone else is technically in the running. Although I sincerely doubt that Dilana is actually in the running. I think that last night's analysis still stands. It appears that Lukas is more consistent and diverse in his performances and he is my personal choice. Chris likes Toby, as does slickyjo.
So the rank at the end of the show is:
1. Dilana
2. Toby
3. Lukas
4. Magni
So if these rankings stand, Magni will be the first one eliminated. The only way that he saves himself is to not be in the bottom two at the end of voting. Of course, then he only saves himself until the final three.
